Rafael Nadal struggled into his first Grand Slam quarter-final since 2015 at the Australian Open on Monday, as Serena Williams accelerated towards a record title and the number one ranking. Nadal, searching for a revival after injuries wrecked last season, was tested by France's Gael Monfils before winning 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 to book a last-eight clash with Milos Raonic. Nadal, 30, was also pushed to five sets by Alexander Zverev, 19, in round three, but he has survived to reach his first major quarter-final since the 2015 French Open.

The Spanish world number nine now has an excellent chance to add to his 14 Grand Slam titles after world number one Andy Murray and title-holder Novak Djokovic were both knocked out.

"I'm very happy being in the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam after a couple of years without being there," he said. "It's very special for me, especially here in Australia where I feel (it's) a little bit like home."

A day after defending women's champion and top seed Angelique Kerber also fell by the wayside, Williams beat Barbora Strycova 7-5, 6-4 to set up a last-eight meeting with Johanna Konta.

The American great would gain much from winning in Melbourne, as she would overtake Steffi Graf's Open-era record of 22 Grand Slam titles and end Kerber's short reign as world number one.

In hot afternoon conditions, she fought off the Czech Republic's Strycova in two tight sets, following her sister Venus into the quarter-finals without dropping a set.

"I have absolutely nothing to lose in this tournament," said Williams, 35. "Everything here is a bonus for me. Obviously I'm here to win. Hopefully I can play better, I can only go better."

Britain's Konta, the ninth seed, also reached the last eight with a perfect record in sets after a convincing 6-1, 6-4 victory over Russia's Ekaterina Makarova.

Despite the task facing her, Konta was delighted to be playing Williams, a childhood idol, for what would be her second straight Australian Open semi-final.

"I'm really looking forward to the challenge and I'm looking forward to being on court, out on court with her and competing against her," said the 25-year-old.

Mirjana Lucic-Baroni wrote another chapter in her fairytale career revival when she beat American qualifier Jennifer Brady 6-4, 6-2 to reach her first Grand Slam quarter-final in 18 years.

The former teen prodigy, now 34, won the 1998 Australian Open women's doubles with Martina Hingis but she fled her abusive father and suffered a series of injuries to put her career on hold.

Her joy was unbridled at beating Brady as she reached the last eight at a major for the first time since 1999, when she lost to Graf at Wimbledon aged 17.

"I hope no one is going to pinch me and wake me up because this is just incredible," said Lucic-Baroni, who screeched with joy and jumped up and down to celebrate the win.

"I am a tough little cookie and really stubborn: when I want something I will work hard and do anything I need to get it. What a satisfaction."

Lucic-Baroni will play her quarter-final against US Open finalist Karolina Pliskova, who ended home hopes with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Australia's Daria Gavrilova.

In the men's draw, David Goffin put away Austria's Dominic Thiem 5-7, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2, 6-2 to become the first Belgian man to reach the Australian quarter-finals.

Goffin will next play Grigor Dimitrov, who halted the fairytale run of Denis Istomin, the 117th-ranked Uzbek wildcard who shocked defending champion Novak Djokovic in round two.

The bespectacled Istomin won the first set but injury problems set in and he went down 2-6, 7-6 (7/2), 6-2, 6-1 to the in-form Bulgarian.

Canadian third seed Raonic, still suffering from the effects of flu, beat Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6 (8/6), 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 to earn his quarter-final against Nadal.

Donald John Trump,70, is
45th US president. He administered the oath after the vice president
Mike Richard Pence had taken the oath in swearing in ceremony at capitol
Washington DC on Friday this week.

Trump in his maiden speech, after taking his office, said: thank
you to the people of world. We are assembling here with a big national effort
today. We have unity for the people. We resolute that we will be unite forever.
We will face the hardships; despite it we will get the success in our work. We
want there to be peace. We are grateful to president Obama and first lady
Michele who are present here. They have been magnificent. Today’s ceremony is
important. This is not the transfer of power from one administration to another,
but we are giving the control of power in the hands of you, the people. Those
who are in struggle – what can we do for them? We all know that the government
is yours; the power is for the government.

The year 2017 will be memorable
that the people of this country are going to control the power again. Those men
and women who were forgotten – they will be missed now. You all in million assembled
here on this historic day. In this campaign is to be seen that the country is
always stand forever and America is great. The people want to live protected;
they should be given their rights. The children and women’ condition should be
better. We have to prevent the drugs which have affected the younger; Now today,
we have to stop it. The
crime and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed
our country of so much unrealised potential.

We are one country and
their sorrow is ours; their dreams are ours; their success is ours. That we
have sworn today will go ahead to our target with unity. That the entrepreneurs
in abroad kept on rising; and we looked only in many decades and American
industries shut. We had secured the border of other countries, but we could not
save our borders.

We spent trillion
dollars; made other countries rich, but we have lost our confidence; our
industries have been shut. So far as the lacs of Americans who could work is
now trailing. The middle class were affected very much. The treasury as much we
had allocated to the world is to be stopped now.

Our voice should be heard
in every city, in every foreign capital and in every hall of power. We will
lead a new vision from today. First of all, America! Whether it is immigration,
or trading or anything else – in all respect, America first and the interest of
America will be considered first. We will bring back our jobs; bring our
treasury; bring our dream again. We will build this country by Americano and
American labourers. The Americans will perform their duties here. We will
contact others,but America’s interest first.

200 protesters were demonstrating in Lago Circle at Washington DC.
Many of them were in black suit and had covered with mask. The opposition law
makers boycotted the oath ceremony. 60 of the Democratic Party senators were
not present in this ceremony. The protest demonstration is the first time in
American history for the oath ceremony of president

American Media and Trump

The journalists in America will have to decide self their rules and the American press corps have said clearly before president's oath that Trump cannot decree over them.

Kylie Pope, Editor-in- Chief and publishers of Columbia Journalism
Review (CJR), said in an open letter to Trump that it would be fruitful to
clear: how do we look the relation between your administration and American
press core? He added that the relation between the media and the elected
president are tense.

Pope said that the press secretary to think about the removal
media offices from white house news came out is the same conduct as was looked
during the campaign while you had restricted your own news groups to cover
yourself.

He said that Trump has absolute right to
decide the rule, but media has right even as doing so. Pope said to Trump in
his 8 points charter that the restriction over media access to his
administration will be big mistake from his side; but it will be his decision, and media will review other way to find information.

The
health fair to aware the public about the different health complications was organized
by King George Medical University on Saturday in Lucknow at Sardar Patel ground
in front Gautambudha park

The
brief history of medical college and later it became King George’s medical
university is as follows.

The
Lucknow University Act, No. V of 1920, received the assent of the
Lieutenant-Governor on November 1, and of the Governor-General on November 25,
1920.

The University
undertook teaching -- both formal and informal. Teaching in the Faculties of
Arts, Science, Commerce, and Law was being done in the Canning College and
teaching in the Faculty of Medicine in the King George's Medical College and
Hospital. The Canning College was handed over to the University on July 1,
1922, although previous to this date the buildings, equipment, staff, etc.,
belonging to the Canning College had been ungrudgingly placed at the disposal
of the University for the purposes of teaching and residence. The King George's
Medical College and the King George's Hospital were transferred by the
Government to the University on the March 1, 1921.

The following three
Colleges provided the nucleus for the establishment of the University:

·The King George's
Medical College. (Now Known as King George's Medical University)

·The Canning College.

·The Isabella Thoburn
College.

This was a rich
inheritance for the new-born University in 1920

Dr SB Cameron with Prof Kali Prasad came in
Lucknow from Allahabad University. Professor Cameron was the VC of Lucknow
university during 1926-1930 and Kali Prasad had been VC during 1960-61.

W Selby (1911) was the first principal of King
George's Medical College.

The success of this great project of medical education and
relief was already assured when the foundation stone was laid by His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales in 1906 and during his second visit for the
Coronation Durbar as King Emperor, His Majesty was pleased to give his consent
and to designate the College by his name.

A change took place in the control of the Medical College
and Hospital in 1921 when these institutions were transferred to the new
Lucknow University and ceased to be directly under the Government of the United
Provinces. Hither-to the College had been affiliated to the Allahabad
University. For the first time in 1922 the degrees granted to the successful
students was the M.B.B.S. Lucknow instead of the M.B.B.S. Allahabad, as
hitherto.

36 departments
are in the university, which have motto sincerity-service-sacrifice.

Prof.Ravi Kant
is the present vice chancellor of King George Medical University.

In his sincere
effort, the faculties are engage in public service. Thousands of patients reach
daily to its outdoor services in the new building. The emergency cases for the
treatment are handled at trauma centre-1. The doctors deal the cases sincerely
and refer it to the general wards where the patients are cured from the chronic
diseases daily.

I assigned the
task to my sub editor who is suffering some skin problem in his groin under
testicles and Axilla to cross check the provisions in the fair. Mr Bhatt
visited the place. More than 40 stall of different faculties were present
there.

Many experts
were addressing the people and the guests who were the participants in this
ceremony. The chief noticeable point in this fair ceremony was that the Doctors
were speaking in pure Hindi in colloquial language to aware the people who were
present at the hours.

The doctors at kiosk
were also talking with the patients in Hindi. Professor Ravikant, VC, was at
the midfield where some junior doctors staged a play to communicate awareness
in the society.

Health Mela-17 is an
effort to provide the services of all 36-medical faculties one day at one
place.

Mr Bhatt went to take
consultation at medicine stall where Dr Touheed and Dr Satish were present; Satish gave his prescription and 3 available medicines of the 5 were provided free of
cost and remaining 2 were bought in the
market.

Mela was organized for
the public purpose. The different stalls where the concerning faculties’
Doctors were present and the services at the camp was continue.

A crowd was being
preached by the expert doctors there in pure Hindi (OUDHI) which can be
understood by the patients and their kin.

Professor Ravikant is
also spiritually strong and has faith in the rhymes of Hindu mythology. He has
the awareness to provide the health services to the needy persons, which is more
important in the manner when the persons face different illness and cannot
afford the expenses of treatment.

Professor has made
himself in the access of needy men. He has also deep watch in the society where he has to perform his duty.

He visited orphanage (Balsadan) at Lucknow
where a program of religious sacrifice was held by Seva Bharti Organisation, which he performed and put the incense burner into the pious fire.

. A feast of Bati
Chokha and Khitchdi was hosted by organisation.
Professor Ravikant and Justice Rastogi Allahabad High Court sat with the
others and have taken the lunch together in this ceremony on the occasion of
Makarsankranti, the day is celebrated as a first day of new year in Hinduism.

Many doctors of the
city were felicitated with the respect prize for his outstanding duties and
serving for the people in the medical field.

Prof in his speech
said, “I’m very much overwhelmed, and have begun to think how to manage the
provision of free medical facility here to these innocents. He preached to
perform the duty is the performing of Dharma (serving religion).”

The BJP has alleged that Congress
Vice President Rahul Gandhi violated the model code of conduct by
"co-relating the Congress election symbol with religious figures".
The party has filed a complaint with the Chief Electoral Officer of Uttar
Pradesh, where elections will take place next month from February 11 to March 8,
against the Congress leader. The BJP has also sought the withdrawal of the
Congress' election symbol 'hand' and also cancellation of its recognition as a
national party.

"Rahul Gandhi, at a convention,
named as 'Jan Vedna Sammelan' in Delhi on January 11, 2017, made religious
comments by co-relating the symbol of Indian National Congress with religious
gods such as Shivji ; Guru Nanak; Buddha; Mahavir; and Islam, violating the
provisions of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, MCC and the
guidelines issued by the Supreme Court," the BJP wrote in its complaint on
Friday.

Mr Gandhi had said: "I found
Congress symbol in Shivji, Guru Nanak, Buddha, Mahavir's blessing hand up
pictures. I asked Karan Singhji what it meant. He said (it means) 'don't get
afraid.'"

"It's a blatant violation of
the model code of conduct and strict action should be taken against Rahul
Gandhi and the Congress party for trying to influence voters not only in Uttar
Pradesh but also in other poll-bound states, "said senior BJP leader
Bhupendra Yadav.

Rejecting the allegation, Congress
leader PL Punia said, "What Rahul (Gandhi) said was just a statement to
highlight the high recall value and the emotional bond with the Congress
symbol. What is so objectionable about that? "
"Under Para 16A and 18 of the Election Symbols Order, 1968, and the
allotment of hand symbol of Congress party may kindly be withdrawn with
immediate effect, along with cancellation of its recognition as a national
party," the BJP letter read.

tournament format with the 48 national teams split into 16 groups of three. The
top two teams from each group will then advance to a 32-team knockout stage.

The new 48-team
competition format has been drawn up in such a way that there is no
reduction in the overall number of rest days and a guaranteed maximum of seven
matches for the teams reaching the final, while the current 32-day tournament
duration is kept, so as not to increase the length of time for which clubs have
to release their players.

The decision was
taken following a thorough analysis, based on a report that included four
different format options. The study took into account such factors as
sporting balance, competition quality, impact on football development,
infrastructure, projections on financial position and the consequences for
event delivery. Over the course of its next meetings, the FIFA Council is set
to discuss further details regarding the competition, including the slot
allocation per confederation.

At its most recent
meeting inOctober
2016, the FIFA Council had already discussed the scenarios to expand the
competition format of the FIFA World Cup. By then, it had also defined a set of
principles for countries to bid for the right to host the 2026 edition – a
process that is currentlyscheduled
to culminate in May 2020.

The first day of
the FIFA Council meeting saw the members split into five working groups
dedicated to specific themes: women’s football, technical development,
competitions, commercial matters and legal and corporate structures.

On 10 January, as
well as deciding on the expanded format, the Council agreed on a set of key
dates related to the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ :

14 May 2018: Deadline for participating member associations to release a list
of 30 players;

20 May 2018: Recommended final day of club competitions, with the exception of
the UEFA Champions League final. Special exemptions may only be granted by the
FIFA Council;

21-27 May 2018: Official rest period to be respected by clubs and participating
member associations;

28 May 2018: Start of the release period for all participating member
associations;

4 June 2018: Submission of final list of 23 players.

The Council also
approved the early adoption of the IFRS15 standard in FIFA’s financial reports.

Furthermore, as
part of the ongoing consultation process, the composition of the new committees
has been decided and will be communicated once the respective members have been
informed.

The next meeting
of the FIFA Council is scheduled to be held in Manama, Bahrain, on 9 May 2017
ahead of the 67thFIFA
Congress.

Sex with a minor is a punishable offence under Indian Penal
Code. What about a movie highlighting the same in a surreal believe that it
will be taken as a cinematic art depicting different shades of love, pyaar,
infatuation... oh dear I pity this situation.

Exploiting the rural exotica from the Hindi heartland (Bihar, UP gets a break
and it's the state of Madhya Pradesh for a change) as served by Bhardwaj, Jha
and Kashyap, wannabe hipster filmmaker Shlok Sharma (assistant director DEV D
(2009) and GANGS OF WASSEYPUR (2012) and couple of short films previous)
HARAAMKHOR starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shweta Tripathi is a muddled,
misguided and cringe worthy affair between a teenage student and her teacher.

HARAAMKHORMOVIESTILLS
This disturbing and unlikable piece of work is unworthy of being an art house
material and undeserving of the polished acting talents of Nawazuddin Siddiqui
and Shweta Tripathi who play the teacher and the student respectively.
An accidental late night stand between Krzysztof Kiecelowski's A SHORT FILM
ABOUT LOVE and Giuseppe Tornatore's MALENA seem to be seed of HARAMKHOR's idea
by writer-director Shlok Sharma, which on paper appears arrestingly intriguing
about a lonely 15-year-old Sandhya (Shweta Tripathi) torn between the neglect
by her alcoholic father and his secret affair with another woman, searching for
compassion, love and care in the company of her mathematics teacher Shyam
(Nawazuddin Siddiqui) who is married to Sunita (Trimala Adhikari - an
uncanny Kalki Koechlin lookalike) and happy to take advantage of Sandhya.

On the other hand, a skinny Kamal (Irfan Khan) - the lovable kid
from CHILLAR PARTY plays Sandhya's junior schoolmate and an admirer who follows
his best friend, Mintu's (Modh Samad) instructions blindly in order to fulfill
his infatuation and dream of marrying Sandhya. The idea certainly had meat
but the writer helmer failed to add anything beneath this tender surface of
infatuation and lust in their seemingly desperate attempt to be raw, rustic,
edgy and arty.
While the crush of young Kamal over Sandhya is acceptable and has some quirky
moments, the reasons behind Sandhya getting attracted to Shyam is a complete
hogwash and bigger make believe then any mainstream garbage. Yes, majority of
us belonging to the current generation, the previous ones and the one who are
in their teens have had their share of crush with their teachers and there are
reasons behind the attraction - it can be looks, intelligence or good
nature but here Shyam has nothing in him to charm anyone. What makes Sandhya
fall over Shyam is an irritating mystery that further cringes when we come to
know that Shyam's wife is his ex student and that's not all when Sandhya and
Shyam come closer a printed warning on sex with minor flashes below the screen
making it disturbing to the core.The character of Mintu speaks above his age
coming with all dubious information about sex while Kamal seems to have no
brains of his own. However, the kids Irfan Khan and Modh Samad do their jobs
very well. The only character that makes some sense is of Neelu (Shreya
Shah) girlfriend of Sandhya's father. Censor's tough stand adds salt to
the wound. The editing appears jarred and scenes look disjointed. Nawaz is
a gifted actor but here his ill defined character restricts the audience to
have any connect. Shweta who initially charms her way into the audience
suddenly finds herself left out with no mercy due to her characters unexplained
choice. This proves that no matter how good as an actor you are if the
character is not established and defined well then the audience's connect is
minimum.After the insipid scripting, the lack of connection of Nawaz and Shweta
with the audience becomes the movie's biggest drawback.

Further during the climax when we pray that this tepidly misguided attempt will
reach to some conclusion, a dark, abrupt end makes the matter worse leaving the
audience in confusion whether to scratch their brains or tear the screen in
which they have just seen HARAMKHOR - ironically, the makers have managed
to objectify the movie's title in the end. BRAVO. What an art!!
